Favorite Laos Photo (Series) ~ A Pastel Rainbow of Silk Threads

Aren't these silk threads gorgeous? And they're all naturally-dyed! Just think of the work that goes into dyeing each batch of silk for each of the different colors. How many colors do you see here? The Muang Vaen weavers are so amazing, just some of the most incredibly talented artists in Laos. We find this photo seductive (we have it up on our living room wall) because of the juxtaposition of the unwoven mélange of supplementary discontinuous weft threads lying across the woven threads. Mesmerizing!!!
